Maintained specialized historical areas considered sacred and/or relevant to First
Nations
Indicator E5: Hectares protected/managed specifically for enhancement of cultural
resources.
Rationale: Resource management plans classify land and natural resources, and
designate lands for special management purposes: e.g., industrial developments,
protected areas, parks, wildlife habitat, watersheds, fisheries management, and
recreation. Provisions for First Nations cultural and heritage resources are more
likely to lead to their protection and enhancement.
Data source: Land management agency local plans.
Desired direction: Increase in hectares protected/managed specifically for
enhancement of cultural resources.
First Nation community involvement in traditional cultural activities
Indicator E6: Numbers of hours of First Nation community member participation
involved in traditional cultural activities in the plan areas.
Rationale: Involvement of First Nations citizens in traditional cultural activities
is expected to lead to increased connection to the culture.
